51' Purrington is booked for a foul on Sterry. #pools 1 #cafc 2

Those are the free kicks we need to stop making ffs

Oof. Purrington gets booked after a collision with a HP player midway in their half.

Decent interception by Matthews on the edge of our area there.

AGAIN Washington can't get the ball under control after a lovely Watson ball up top

aliwibble

Matthews appears to have woken up a bit this half. Another good interception there where we could have been in trouble if he'd missed it.

HP down our left again, but Famewo shields the ball out of play strongly.

mendonca

Washington's play is so easy to read. He wants to play at right angles and just so obvious.

Aneke would do a job as well. 

Dazzler21

Washington looks frustrated, so much so it's affecting his game.

11/10, she's got miles better with age.

Not sure why he's so frustrated these days. He can hardly play a basic pass.

aliwibble

Nice bit of interplay by us, wins us a throw by the corner flag. Unfortunately Burstow can't quite make something of it by the post.

57: It's a half-chance for Pools as Olomola drives a cross in, but Charlton manage to clear for a throw-in. 1-2

 When you have an off day and nothing is going right it can be frustrating.

Please never play Ben Watson again Jacko

aliwibble

Erk. More pressure in our box, but luckily it misses everyone and comes wide. Once we clear ball goes down the other end to Burstow but he's offside.

59: Good build-up play again from Pools, but Pearce steps in at the vital moment to snuff out the attack. 1-2

aliwibble

WHAT THE HELL ARE WE DOING ON THE EDGE OF OUR BOX???

killerandflash

A good block by Morgan almost creates a lucky chance for Burstow, but he's offside

Midfield is non existent

Agent Eagle. It's a conspiracy I tell you!

charlton_hero

No one in midfield who can tackle 

aliwibble

Another HP shot from distance deflects off Morgan (who goes down) and out for a corner.

Ball us being lumped over the top of them by the defence to be fair.

aliwibble

Albie's back up and Gilbey heads the corner clear. Looks like we might be away, but Washington's penalised in the centre circle.

KiwiValley

Morgan is having a pretty good game again, do you reckon?

Pelling1993

Feel like we are just waiting for them to equalise before we react
